Understanding Needed
Asked how he proposes to get his Pentagon reorganization proposals through Congress, President Eisenhower
came out fighting for perhaps the first time in his long
exposure to the institution known as the White House
press conference.
Of his Congressional opposition, the Commander-in-Chief
said: "I don't care how strong they are or how numerous
they are. Here is something for the United States. Here
is something that is necessary."
More specifically, he continued: "I would get onto the
air as often as the television companies would let me on.
I would keep it up until I would have the people of the United States understanding that it is their pocketbook first
of all; more than that it is their safety."
This, we think, is a splendid idea, and everyone should
be in favor of it. At the moment, we doubt if even the
gentlemen in Congress are too clear on the President's plan.
In all probability, many of the solons share the public impression that the recommended changes will make a czar of
the Secretary of Defense and office boys of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff; further, that it will destroy the spirit and morale
of the military by reducing soldiers, saliors, marines and
flyers to the colorless level of Defense Department employees wearing some sort of nondescript, but universal, uni
form.
The President derided the "czar" idea and spoke of the
"built-in constitutional guards that are there." He also referred to the income tax of 1913 as an example of the "horror and alarm expressed about any reforms." He did n-
mention, however, that those safeguards have failed to keep
the income tax rate within the one percent barrier originally
promised, that it has climbed to 52 percent for all corporations and as high as 92 percent for individuals, that it has
grpym from an innocuous levy to a devouring monster that
threatens the survival b_ the American free enterprise
system.
When he picked the income tax as an example to quie'
our fears, the President made an unhappy choice. And
when, recently, he outlined the authority he would give the
Secretary of Defense — make and execute strategic plan*
with unified commands "responsive completely to the decision of the Secretary" —President Eisenhower doubtless
made this appointive official sound a little czaristic.
All in all, it will be an excellent idea for the President
to take to the air waves and give us—and the Congress—
a better understanding of just what his Defense reorganization really means. In all probability the TV networks
will consider it a public duty to supply the time—and if ,not
the taxpayers will regard it as a trifling expense in the fact
of the fateful decisions involved.
Overseas Aid Really Works
In this year of missile races and summit conferences,
it is easy to forget that day by day human contacts ai
still'the most effective source of international understanding.
. This is the way the YMCA operates around the world.
Its 10,000 centers in 76 countries and territories demonstrate for democracy every day of the year. It keeps open
a regular world-wide channel for the exchange of ideas anc
techniques. Despite wars, revolutions, economic upheavals,
and atomic age tensions, the YMCA has steadily extendea
its world-wide network and become a strong force for
world brotherhood.
In the past seventy years, the most important factor
in building this global YMCA has been YMCA world Service. This program of the United States and Canadian
YMCA's has helped to establish YMCA movements in 42
countries. Today, in 36 countries, YMCA World Service
works in partnership with.local community leaders to help
people to help themselves. All over the world, the YMCA
man's front lines in the fight against disease, poverty, and
ignorance which afflict millions of young people.
World Service is overseas aid that really gets results.
It develops the individual — and indirectly his nation. It
gives young people the skills necessary for developing self-
confidence.
The YMCA deserves your help in its continuing worldwide effort to build youth's spiritual and physical health.
Yiour North Canton YMCA Community Building is now
joining with other North American Y's to support the
sixty-ninth year of this work. We urge you to give gen
erously to its World Service campaign.
A Break For The Poor
It is strange how much discrimination still exists
against the poor. Only 22 states out of the 48, according
to an article in the Journal of the American Judicature
Society, make proper provision for lawyers for the needy
brought into court. Even in these 22 the attorney appointed
by the court may be inexperienced, or Jack the time for
handling the case.
In seven states there is no arrangement for free lega1
counsel except in capital cases. In nine others the court
may appoint or not, as it sees fit. In 10 the court must
appoint if the defendant asks for it. However, even there
the judge is not required to notify the defendant that he
has this right.
Tax-supported public defenders, or privately operated
legal aid societies, supported by philanthropy, would redress
this injustice. The provision for public defenders, as logical
as that for public prosecutors, goes b_jck to^.1913. Yet in
all those years it has been adopted by only 71 cities and
counties. Here is one cause to which the publics-spirited
-plight properly-devote themselves, , ,__ _, ,
